KAZUKI on Hiatus from CROSSFAITH

CROSSFAITH guitarist KAZUKI has announced that he will be taking a break from activities with the band in order to undergo treatment for damage to his basal ganglia.

In a message posted on the band's official site, KAZUKI stated that while he had been experiencing problems with his left hand last summer, he dismissed it as fatigue from the tour. However, when the movements of his hand began to slow he became certain that it was something more serious. After a number of medical examinations at different hospitals, an MRI finally revealed the root of the issue.

While he is recuperating the band will continue to perform with a support guitarist. KAZUKI stated that while he will not be able to join the band on stage, he hopes that fans will still be able to feel his presence in the guitar melodies he helped create and that they will continue to support CROSSFAITH with the same amount of love.
